Sanguisorba
Summer garden
Small Burnet (Sanguisorba Minor)
Growing a bunch of spring greens at Chocolati for the staff!
Photographs from one of Ohio’s best remnant wetland complexes
Leadingham Prairie and Fen, Estel Wenrick Wetlands complex and the great Beaver Creek Run, Green and White Ash Swamp complex.
Photograph 1-2: Swale of Symphyotrichum firmum, dead Fraxinus americana can be seen towering in the background surrounded by seed bank recruits along with Yellow leaves of Viburnum dentatum, Red leaves are Cornus amomum. Vernonia gigantea (The Giant Ironweed), Filipendula rubra (Queen of The Prairie), and Eutrochium maculatum (Spotted Joe Pye) are done with their annual phenology and have turned different darker shades of earth tone at this point. Much of the Goldenrods left are that of Ohio and Canada Goldenrod. Still some spires of white from Sanguisorba canadensis are present in the background with a few earthtoned brushes of
3 is much of the same scene, more focus on Sanguisorba canadensis.
4. A swale of forbes showing autumn colors.
5. Mixed Fraxinus americana (White Ash) and Fraxinus pennsylvanica (Green Ash) swamp, dead with some regen in the background of why I was planning to visit this prairie. Here is a small population of a really cool wetland Senecio spp. Senecio suaveolens (AKA false Nabulus)
6. Helenium autumnale in a swale community (Autumn Sneezeweed).
7. Right past the population of Senecio suaveolens, is some engineering marvels made by some Castor candensis( Common Beaver.) I can only imagine what the Giant Beaver was capable of making.

The flowers of Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' (Korean burnet) look almost unreal in both their colour and texture. This is a more compact cultivar of this rhizomatous herbaceous perennial. It produces a mat-forming, running rootstock with blue-green foliage and these distinctive flowers which here were part is a traditional cottage garden style planting.
